 The film, released in 1974 (in our country it was distributed with the terrible title "Non Aprite Quella Porta"), marks the debut of Texan director Tobe Hooper, who creates his greatest masterpiece: a small independent film (shot with a very low budget), which managed to revolutionize the concept of horror cinema.

 Poltergeist is an IDIOTIC film, a completely IDIOTIC film, where it definitively kicks off the trend of stupid American families, culturally and socially clueless, dealing with paranormal stuff concerning ghosts, faith, religion, American Catholic heroism, and other star-spangled NONSENSE.
